'We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity'

A Minnesota hospital issued a profuse apology to staff after failing to abide by its “values of respect and justice” — by giving out free Chick-fil-A.

Essentia Health in Duluth wrote to staff last Tuesday after staff clucked about the free sandwiches available in the St. Mary’s Medical Center’s atrium earlier that day.

“We have received feedback from some colleagues who were concerned or offended by this occurrence, and we value colleagues feeling comfortable expressing their reservations,” Tammy Kritzer, senior vice president for regional operations at Essentia Health wrote in an email to medical staff that was obtained by The Daily Wire.

“We would like to thank our colleagues who had the courage to speak up to widen our lens of inclusivity, and we appreciate all colleagues continuing to live our values of respect and justice,” Kritzer wrote.

Chick-fil-A has drawn the ire of LGBT activists over the years, who have boycotted and staged protests over the company donating to groups like the Salvation Army, which activists claim has “a record of anti-LGBTQ discrimination.” In fact, the company emphasizes that it “values diversity, equity and inclusion” and does not discriminate or tolerate harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

“In the words of Maya Angelou, when we know better, we do better,” the email concluded. “Thank you for giving us grace, as we work to be better, together,” the email read.

Some cities have prevented Chick-fil-A from opening locations at their airports, including Buffalo, New York, and San Antonio, Texas. The chain famously does not open on Sundays to honor the Lord’s Day, Chick-fil-A’s founder explained, likely causing it to lose more than $1 billion a year.

While Essentia staff squawked about the free lunch, they have been silent about some of their employer’s other decisions. The hospital, which did not respond to a request for comment, provides cross-sex hormones and more to minors. According to the Stop The Harm database, Essentia has performed at least five sex change operations on minors.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Good thing they didn't bring in Sabra hummus or any other Israeli made goodies or the snowflakes would really have a 💩 fit.

It figures this butcher shop takes, ahem, PRIDE in turning children into frozen vegetables.

Anyone who gets their panties in a wad (poor choice of words when dealing with woketards) over the "wrong" food shouldn't be allowed to so much as change bedpans let alone work in the medical field

Absolutely ridiculous. Besides, Chick-fil-A surrendered on this issue years ago and went woke, what’s the point?

LOL I didn’t think of that :)

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to completely avoid products made by people you disagree wwith...and to an extent...a little silly.

And the left DOES NOT.

Chic-Fil-A has lines going to Pluto in Manhattah...I know leftists that love it.

When a brand is outwardly hostile to our side...I do try to avvoid it...like when Budweiser supported TGs and gay marriage during NFL commercials.

Other than that, if they are known leftists but keep their mouths shut (the owners or CEOs) I will buy the product.

Such an easy solution. No more free anything. Problem solved.
